I don't actually like reducing people to mindless NPC's. I mostly do it to disrupt bigots.

If you use their argument against them they suddenly start wanting to situation it as THEIR insult, while also complaining about 'identity politics,' as I think irony is a great weapon. Most people whocomplain about 'idpol,' tend to only be upset that their personal identity isn't being positioned in the center, which has nothing to do with intersectional theory, but that's a whole other distinction to be made.

We shouldn't be rationally engaging these people but instead making their existence as uncomfortable as they already do to some of the most marginalized people.
